As above i die-ated, the invention relates to-gas stoves of the ran 'e'type of any style found on the market, there eing' provided a guard toprotect the mixers from the heat of the burner, and a .,cover memberfonthe mixers mounted upon the said guard.

The invention will be readily understood from, an inspection of the.accompanying drawin s, in which Figure 1- represents a front e evationof, a stoveto which the pres 'ent invention has been applied;
